THIS is a Temperance lesson, full of meaning for these days. Don't fail to keep this Red Light of Danger burning. This lesson will be a signal of fire. Pour out on a plate a small quantity of denatured alcohol, and say "it looks like water." Shake the bottle--but it is not pure, heaven-sent water, but a deadly poison. Read to them Proverbs 23:31; 20:1. These are warnings from heaven against this deadly poison. These words are like matches from God to light the red lamp of danger. Alcohol is a deadly thing. God says so. Tell them that it is the greatest idol in all the world. Millions worship it, for every drinker of this red poison bows to this idol whenever he drinks. Strike a match and set fire to it, and as it blazes forth say "I will now burn the idol, because it is a burning idol, like the great Moloch about which we read in the Old Testament, within whose blazing arms little children were cast and burned to death. So this fiery idol destroys millions. The Indians call it "fire-water" because it burns the throat. This is the reason if you take one drink you want another. Alcohol absorbs all the moisture of the throat and creates a thirst which alcohol alone will quench; so it keeps on burning until it burns up the stomach, the lungs, the heart, the brain, and yet men continue to drink this fire of death. Once upon a time there was a little monkey that was owned by the keeper of a county tavern. Frequently he gave it a little taste of this fire-water which caused him to jump about in great glee. This pleased the bad men of the barroom greatly. One day a man lit a match and set fire to the spoonful, and when the monkey saw it he fled in terror and never touched it again. This was monkey sense; this was better than man sense, for man knows it will burn, and yet returns to it again. He needs a few monkey lessons. To deepen the impressions of this lesson, you can take the white of an egg, a substance which resembles the brain of a human being, place it in a cup and pour upon it a small quantity of alcohol; then stir it with a spoon and it will congeal as if it had been cooked. Take this out of the cup and it will be solid like a boiled egg. This will illustrate the effect of alcohol on the human brain. This is a lesson which burns itself into the memory of the children for all time. This will hang up the 18th amendment on nails of fire in the memory of the little folks and other folks also. May the whole world soon go into this sort of fire business. =CHAPTER VI EARS OPENED TO GOD'S CALL= _Object: A Blackboard_ EARS OPENED TO GOD'S CALL GOD is speaking to us all the time. We so often pay no heed to His voice. Do we know the language he speaks? It is a secret tongue. Let us try to learn it.
